Be Kind by Ellen Spring 2019 Subscription Box – SPOILERS!

I’m going to be selling my entire box, if anyone wants first dibs; otherwise I’ll be posting it on eBay or swaps if I get off the waitlist. The box is sold out now so I’m hoping I won’t have any issues selling it. There’s just nothing in there that I need/will use.

If anyone wants to sell their playing cards, I’ll pay $15 shipped to AZ. I collect Theory 11 cards and these look nice.

I’ve canceled my subscription, BUT more I think about this box, the more I like. However, I will wait for the spoilers next time before re-subscribing.

Bracelet: I love animals and all, but I wouldn’t want to wear something with a gorilla on it (not my style). However, the charm is removable, so I can do that and just add my own.

Coffee mug: It looks beautiful and is in a neutral color. A practical item, and I’ll use it. At the end of the day, I am happy that it’s something I will actually use.

Book: my kids love dogs, so they’ll appreciate it.

Playing cards: Father’s Day gift. My dad collects them.

Candle: I like how large it is, and comes in a modern neutral container and color. Win!

Coffee: I’m an addict.

Calm voucher: looking foeward to using it! Already a fan of the app.

Cheerios: I hope that mine will have a $5,000 golden ticket. Lol.

All in all, even if the items aren’t totally you, I think we can see the sincerity in the box, since they are Ellen’s style.

I’m confused. The email that was sent to subscribe to the Be kind box, is this the first one we’re going to get? I’m pretty sure I read the first one will be the fall box. Anyone know?

Liz, are you able to confirm if all of the coffee travel mugs will be white? I’m curious to see if they will be random colors or all the same.

Good box. I will swap the book but probably keep everything else. I think in the long run this box will be a good fit for me.

There’s something black and rounded above the Alex and Ani box…maybe a candle?

I’m not ashamed to admit I’m really excited about that book. I had a dog “guidebook” of breeds as a kid that I begged my dad to buy me from the bookstore and that thing literally fell apart because I would constantly stare at the pictures of the dogs and read about the breeds. Yes, I’m a bit obsessed I guess. LOL. But now, as an adult, I have an amazing rescue dog myself (mutt!) and this book instantly brought back those happy memories as a kid…plus I obviously love the message behind it. I loved the first Ellen box, signed up for a sub without hesitation and so far no regrets!

Welp. Buying this without spoilers was a mistake. Unless I get the $5,000 ticket, in which case is was the best decision ever. 😂

The full unboxing video by Ellen is on YouTube. The items you don’t see here are a deck of playing cards and a candle

I always feel like the second an item becomes a “collaboration” it cant be given a retail price that exceeds its cost in the box. They aren’t selling this particular edition of the book on their site and because it says it’s part of the be kind box its already proclaiming to cost even less than the $60 you paid for the box because it’s just one item among many.

I subbed yesterday as a birthday gift to myself and I’m excited! Everything seems very on-brand for Ellen as a person, and there are some new-to-me items. I’ve never seen the Byta cups before and it’s by far the best-looking travel mug I’ve ever seen. And as an aunt and frequent dog-sitter of a rescue Great Dane, can’t wait to see all the beautiful rescue pups in the book.
PS The teal box looks like a Thrive Causemetics item.

Interesting and an easy pass.

I’ve tried (and paid for) the Calm App and I recently canceled it. I find YouTube is better for calming me at night.

I love dogs but don’t have any in my life so the book is not for me. My sister just adopted a dog but she isn’t really a coffee book person. Plus a $125 book? 😂

The cup is nice. I’m more excited for the FabFitFun option.

The bracelet…nope. I don’t know who I could even gift this to if it has a gorilla on it.

This box does represent Ellen but does it appeal to a broad audience? 😑

I’ll have to say, while not what I was expecting after the last box I love collecting large coffee table books so I hope I do get a book. I’d love a couple more to gift to my dog loving friends but doubt anyone would swap reasonably, as I’m not swapping a Pehr throw for a book. 🙁

Well, I loved the curation of the first box, but adding a dog book to this box knowing that not everyone may not be a dog enthusiast is disappointing. I would love a decor book or another themed coffee table book in this box that would be more universal for everyone.

In the video, you can see a little teal box at the last second. It kind of looked similar to the Causemetics item we got in the winter FabFitFun Box.

Oh dear. I am a cat person who does not want a $125 dog book. Nor do I want a gorilla bracelet. And we use a Keurig. This could be big miss for me.

So disappointed ! I loved the first box so i blindly jumped on this, but there is so far nothing i will use. I am praying that the hero item is not a crazy expensive dog book, my cat will NOT appriciate that, might possibly destroy it so it would be wasted in my house. The bracelet is ok, but pretty plain, and i will not use the coffee or meditation app. Im a sad panda 🙁

In the Cheerios video, you will see that one box has $5,000 in it, so be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water 😁

I sure hope there is more than a cup, bracelet and a bowl of cereal in this box. This is HIGHLY disappointing. Hopefully this is just a first set of spoilers.

So I jumped on this box because I loved the first and missed it. I am so bummed if these are the items. Only thing I like is the cup which I do not need. Everything else will be up for swap. Ill give it one more chance in thinking maybe every other box may be a good one. LOL

There is a cryptic video available on Instagram. I counted seven items.

Byta Cup looks the 16oz
Alex and Ani Item I bet it is the gorilla item since it’s an Ellen item.
Calm App Voucher
Westrock Coffee Item. This is either a sample or coffee coasters due to the size.
Cheerios Mini Box
Rover Book- $125 value
A blue box at the bottom of second layer. It’s a small box

I didn’t get the first box and wish I had, so I was tempted with signing up blindly for this one; told myself I’d wait until Monday and didn’t sign up until yesterday, and of course now there’s spoilers. I’m a bit bummed but holding out hope; I enjoy medication apps like Calm a lot, so I’m hoping it’s a decent voucher.

Someone posted a video on Instagram with half of the contents. There is also some dog book called Rover. I actually liked the first box and was sad that I missed it. So far I’m not liking a thing in this box besides the cup so far. Hopefully the remaining items will impress everyone.

There’s more. But no one is showing what else is in there. There’s a video on Instagram. @flora_chaehwa
